    Mie Pref. Iseshi Kusubechou 156-6
    This Kannon (Goddess of mercy) temple for driving out evil spirits is said to be the oldest in Japan. With an original legend that it was built in a place where dragons lives, there are many other dragon god legends. A popular one among them, there is a story that a male and female pair of dragons appeared from the pond and protected Kannon when the main temple caught fire 600 years ago. When the floorboards were being replaced about 10 years ago, the image of dragon emerged by chance in the grains of the boards, and this Nade Ryu (stroking dragon) became famous as a power spot since it was said you could receive benefits by stroking it.

    Mie Pref. Takiguntakichou Nyu 3997
    Nyu Daishi Shinguji Temple is a five-minute drive from the Seiwa-Taki Interchange on the Kisei Expressway. It was founded in 774, and its formal name is said to have been much longer. The main hall, protected by a Niomon gate, where guardian kings Jikokuten and Tamonten stand at the left and right and are venerated, contains a statue of the temple's founder, Kobo Daishi, who is the principal object of worship. Sugatami Pond, located on the temple grounds, is a favorite spot for amateur photographers, who visit to capture images of the carp that swim around in the pond or the pygmy water lilies that cover the water's surface from late June to early July.

    立派な門に仁王像が鎮座しており、風格があります。門をくぐり真っ直ぐ行くと神社に行き当たります。おそらくは神仏習合で、寺と神社が同居してるのでしょう。寺は左手の階段を登ったところにあります。真言宗のありがたい念仏がお堂に掲げられていました。帰り際に鐘つき堂の向かいの堂のお坊さんに声をかけられ、鐘をついても良いよと言われたので鐘つきをしてみました。良い響きでした。

    Records state this ancient Buddhist temple was built on the order of Emperor Kameyama in 1267. Many ancient stone statues of Kshitigarbha (Jizo) stand on the grounds, and the temple's principal object of worship is also a depiction of Kshitigarbha; in turn, it can be inferred that the temple was a center of Kshitigarbha worship in the area. The temple's eleven-faced statue of Avalokitesvara (Kannon), adorned with 11 small heads on top, is believed to have been created in the Heian period. The solemn statue bears an expressive face and visible wood grain and has been designated a National Important Cultural Property. There is also a small garden on the grounds started as a hobby by the chief priest which blooms with the flowers of around 200 varieties of roses.

    開創がはっきりとしない寺院らしい。一説では８３８年とも、一説では１２６７年とも云われています。随分と差がありますね。が、１３１４年には寺伝にも明記されている通り、地蔵堂と云う名称で存在していたと云うことは解っています。ここには昔の石仏が多数あって、南北朝時代、室町時代のものと推定されることから、いろいろな起源の説があるのだと思われます。参道は途中まではそこそこの広さのもので綺麗に清掃されていました...

    Mie Ise-shi Okamoto 2-10-80
    Records state this ancient Buddhist temple was founded during the Tenpyo era (729-748). It is said the temple was founded in Kametanigo in what is now Maeyama-cho, Ise City by the great priest Gyoki on the order of Emperor Shomu as a place to pray for the spiritual protection of the state.

Omine Shugendo syncretic faith, with more than 10 sub-temples under its jurisdiction; today, however, only the temple's Itokuin temle building remains. There are also monuments on the grounds inscribed with poems by poets such as Sasa Kyuko XIII and Tokuda Chindo. The great homa consecrated fire festival the temple holds each year on July 7 is counted as one of the three greatest in the country. The festival entertainments in the inner and outer districts of Ise Jingu and intense prayer ritual praying for the enjoyment of all people are traditions which have been handed down through the ages to the modern day.

    Located on the premises of Ise Jingu’s Naiku (Kotaijingu) in Ise City, this is a place to purify one’s entire body and soul before worshipping at the shrine. The stone-paved Mitarashi constructed on the banks of the Isuzugawa River is said to have been donated by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi’s mother Keishouin. The temizusha (ablution front) also serves the same purpose in allowing worshippers to cleanse their hands in the clean, streaming waters of the Isuzugawa River and purify themselves.
